There are many aspects to bringing success and popularity to idol groups. Also, there are more responsibilities that follow the immense popularity - such as more promotional content for fans to enjoy.
When idols release new albums or songs, it is only natural for them to promote their new song on popular music programs. There are times where less popular idols aren't even given the opportunity to perform on these music shows.
However, fans of one idol group were shocked to find that their beloved girl group only performed on 4 music shows all this year despite having much popularity and debuting less than 2 years ago.
This group is aespa. One aespa fan found that the girls have not been promoted as much as expected and only performed on four music programs. Additionally, other fans pointed out that aespa doesn't have their own YouTube show or contents other than behind-the-scenes videos.
Fans expressed their disappointment and commented, "It's a serious issue that they only performed on 4 music shows but they don't have their own content either. They rarely post music show behinds, recording behinds, or even dance practice videos...what are fans to watch while waiting during their hiatus?" "This is SM's problem," "Please SM," "They only had 1 comeback and they only did 4 music programs...seriously," "I hope we see them more next year," and "This isn't anything new with SM."
They've been compared enough to BP as it is. Let's hope they're not trying to follow their business model as well.
